We had some time to kill, and love wine tasting, so we dropped in mid week to Idle Hour. We were greeted by the manager, who proceeded to offer a very inexpensive tasting. Don't expect Napa, just be open minded to new experiences. We found...More

I LOVED this winery! The man was so knowledgeable and kind! He answered all of our questions, no matter how ridiculous. The wine was also very good! And $5 per person is impossible to beat. If you have an afternoon off from Yosemite, GO HERE....More

Thanks so much for taking the time to give us such a kind review! Matt is our assistant winemaker and a really sweet guy to be around. And Lulu is our official greeter!

Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed your experience at both our inn and winery! Our staff work hard everyday to make that happen and we appreciate that you took the time to review.
